July 4, 200717 yr pd: Cleveland Heights brothers apply science to parking problem Posted by [send email to //[email protected]/ via gmail] Dan X. McGraw July 03, 2007 21:00PM Categories: Breaking News Alex and Corey Rubin are sports fans on a budget. They have trudged more than a half-mile from cheap parking lots to attend games in downtown Cleveland. Sometimes the Cleveland Heights brothers overpaid to park closer. Other times they tired themselves out to save a buck. So, this year they decided to apply scientific principles to their pursuit of affordable parking... Mistake by the Lake Sporting Times http://mistakesports.blogspot.com/2007/05/parking-at-indians-games-guide.html Thursday, May 24, 2007 Parking at Indians Games: A Guide by Corey We at the Mistake by the Lake Sporting Times are nothing if not obsessed with saving you money. That's why Alex and I decided to spend a couple hours before a recent Indians game methodically mapping out exactly who charges what for parking on Indians gamedays. Hopefully, you'll be able to use this guide to save yourself that extra dollar you'll need to buy that twelfth and final hot dog in the seventh inning. Below you'll find a map of the Jacobs Field area, color coded to show you what it would have cost to park in each and every lot or garage that was open on the evening of Tuesday, May 15, 2007 (click to enlarge): Map of parking prices in the Jacobs Field area on May 15, 2007 As you can see, there are a lot of options, ranging from $2 to $20. In a perfect world, we might expect the price to decrease at a constant rate as the parking lots get further from the stadium. In reality, while it's true the close-by lots are generally more expensive than the far-away ones, the relationship between price and walking distance is hardly one-to-one, as you can see in this scatterplot (click to enlarge): Scatterplot showing parking prices vs. approximate walking distance from nearest Jacobs Field entrance In estimating walking distance for each parking lot, I used Google Earth to determine the shortest route along existing city streets from the center of each parking lot to the nearest Jacobs Field entrance, whether that's in left field, center field, or behind home plate. Obviously, this method doesn't account for a couple of things--like the walking you'd have to do to get from the fourth floor of a parking garage down to street level, or the fact that you may have opportunities to shorten your walk by jaywalking, cutting across empty lots, etc. It also doesn't account for the fact that a couple of the parking lots (south of the stadium) require you to walk up a steep hill. And I'm not even considering the fact that there are other variables in play here, besides price and relative walking distance. For example, you might be willing to pay more to park under a roof, or to park somewhere where you'll have an easy time exiting after the game is over, or even to park somewhere where you don't have to turn your keys over to a lot attendant. All that said, I think I can use the price and distance data I've collected to make some guesses about the best deals (and biggest rip-offs) in Indians Parking Land: The best deals * Any of the garages/lots between Erie and Bolivar next to the cemetery. Price: $5. Distance: between 0.13 and 0.23 miles from center field gate. There are three locations here; the one closest to the stadium is a garage while the other two are regular lots. The beauty of these locations is that they are accessible from both Erie (the brick road that abuts the cemetery) and Bolivar. So, despite one-way traffic restrictions, you can enter and exit without worrying about traffic being at a standstill on E. 9th St. I haven't parked at any of these places (yet) so I can't vouch for the pleasantness of the "parking experience", but in terms of price and distance, this is hands-down the best value there is. * Lot on north side of Bolivar, half a block from E. 9th. Price: $7. Distance: 0.18 miles from center field gate. Not counting the aforementioned Erie/Bolivar garage, to get any closer to the stadium than this $7 lot, you'd have to pay $10 or more. That's pretty good value. * Garage on southeast corner of Prospect and E. 9th. Price: $10. Distance: 0.14 miles from center field gate. The nice thing about this garage is that it has access points on both E. 9th and Prospect. And it's extremely close to the stadium. Not having parked there, though, I can't tell you about the exiting situation. It's kind of a large garage, so they might get a little backed up at the end of the game, I don't know. * Garage on north side of Huron, halfway between Ontario and Prospect. Price: $10. Distance: 0.15 miles from left field gate. This garage is comparable to the one just mentioned in terms of price and distance. The only drawback might be dealing with the exodus of cars from the main Jacobs Field garage across the street. Speaking of which... * Jacobs Field garage. Price: $12. Distance: 0.04 miles from left field gate. Okay, bear with me here. The Jacobs Field garage (or Gateway east garage) is hardly cheap, and is known to cause its fair share of exiting headaches. If you park there, however--especially if you happen to get a spot near the staircase--you have essentially no walking to do: you're at the left field gate. There are a number of lots out there that charge $15 or $20 dollars to park further away, so if you're a lazy bastard who doesn't need to get home in a hurry, this is actually a great value for you. The biggest rip-offs * Garage on northeast corner of W. 6th and Huron. Price: $8. Distance: 0.59 miles from left field gate. I'm not sure what, exactly, is going on at this garage. They appear to offer valet parking, which suggests people park there for other things besides Indians games. At any rate, the price is way above the market rate for such a far-away location. * Lot on south side of Superior near W. Prospect. Price: $6. Distance: 0.64 miles from left field gate. This is another of the farthest possible parking options for Indians games. People may also be parking here for access to the Warehouse District restaurants. Regardless, it's not a good value for baseball goers. * Garage on east side of Ontario, between Prospect and Public Square. Price: $10. Distance: 0.47 miles from left field gate. This garage is way too far away to be charging $10. I could see charging that for Cavs games, which are closer by, but not Indians games. * Tower City Amphitheater parking, on north side of Canal. Price: $2. Distance: 0.66 miles from left field gate. I'm not talking about the Tower City parking, which itself is kind of far away to be charging $6, but isn't ridiculous. No, I'm talking about the Tower City Amphitheater parking. You access it by driving down into the flats and taking Canal. After you park, you climb some stairs to where the regular Tower City parking is located, then take the RTA walkway along with everyone else. They only charge $2, but even that is hardly worth all the walking--and all the stairs. Distance-wise, this was the farthest lot we found open. In closing, I just want to point out that the information in this guide only represents what was available on May 15, 2007. It is very likely that the prices go up when the Indians draw more fans to the ballpark (for example, on weekends). It is also likely that more locations remain open to Indians fans on those occasions than are on my map. It's also likely that prices go up on nights when the Cavs have a home game (especially west of the ballpark), or even when there are major events at Playhouse Square (northeast of the ballpark, that is). In that regard, this guide is useful as a general reference, but will hardly guarantee you the best value. I don't expect that my publishing this information will actually have any effect on the parking prices downtown, but I will be interested to see how prices change in various locations as the Indians (presumably) get closer to a playoff berth. Perhaps at some point in the future I'll do this exercise again, so we can track the changes. In the meantime, happy parking! And enjoy that extra hot dog; consider it a personal gift from me.
July 4, 200717 yr Author When my sister drives to Indians games, she almost always parks in the buildings-turned-garages off Erie Street. Best bargain around. When I meet her downtown for Tribe games, I take the #55 or the Rapid. She can drive/park all she wants.
